Hunting with Jack



We live in a clearing surrounded by acres of woods with a few neighbors behind us at the top of the ridge that  we can't see except for in winter when there are no leaves on the trees.

I was talking  on the phone to a friend last week telling her about our neighbor's cat Jack.  I told P that he often comes down the mountain to visit us and that he likes to hunt in our yard.

P responded rather vehemently :"He hunts in your yard?  And you let him? That's dangerous!"

Wondering why she was getting so upset I told her that he especially likes to go under the house in the crawlspace to hunt.  "What?" P exclaimed.loudly "Oh my God why?"

"Because there is lots of good stuff under there'" I explained calmly.  "Voles, mice, chipmunks."

"P"  I asked, "Did you hear me when I said Jack is a cat?"

" A CAT!!!" P stated back. " I thought you were talking about a person named Jack!!"

We had a good chuckle over this, imagining a human hunter, rifle slung over his shoulder, dressed in camouflage clothing, crawling around in the tiny space under the house looking for prey!

Jack the cat hunting for voles.
P.S. It looks like this is our 600th post!  Pretty cool that we have posted that many pics and stories about us cats!  Hope to be doing 600 more!!!

Fun with Sweetpea





If you can't see this, then go here to our Youtube Channel!

Sweetpea just loves to play with her Bizzy Kitty.  Round and round the ball goes as she slides all over the floor with it.  Rattle, rattle, rattle.  It wakes Pop up in the middle of the night as she smacks the toy hard trying to get the ball out.  Bam, it hits the cabinet. Rattle again as it slides across the floor. Too tired to get up and take it away from her, Pop keeps saying to himself "she will lose interest in another minute, she will stop playing soon..."  He is right, after a few minutes Sweetpea will give up and go play with something quieter!  Poor Pop!
